If I had all the money in the world, I don't think I'd want to be in the studio for longer.

There just is exponentially more money in the movie business than in the music business. As a result there are more people involved in the creative process.

We still have that same burn, to get that same kind of laughs. So whether the studio wants us to or not, we're going to do it. The money is just a byproduct of coming out with good stuff. Our whole thing is building that rapport with the audience.

The studios don't finance anymore, they get outside funds.

You always try to work for your audience, to entertain them, but that being said, obviously, within the studio system you feel the sense of responsibility to the bank.

Plus, we spend most of our time writing music. Most of the time is spent in the studio in my house.

And, we put a lot more value, or at least I personally put a lot more value, on the creative values and creative challenges of something than the commercial necessities.

We've been working with the very best in the business. The studio really just let us alone to make the films.

The studios have been taken over by marketing people and accountants.

Artists usually don't make all that much money, and they often keep their artistic hobby despite the money rather than due to it.
